Sauna HumidifierA sauna humidifier is an accessory that you nestle between the heater elements. All you have to do is fill it with water, and presto… Moisture is added to your sauna room, and in the process you’re provided with a more pleasant bathing atmosphere. Saunas are full of humidity already, so what’s the benefit of adding a sauna humidifier? Pouring water over the rocks placed on top of the heater produces steam for just a few minutes at a time. Without a humidifier, adding steam to your sauna means you have to stop and pour water over the rocks yourself every few minutes to keep the steam going. How Sauna Humidifiers Work First, you have to plant the humidifier - which is actually a steel tube, between the heating elements. Next you pour water into it, and the result is an automatic, continuous flow of steam. This eliminates the need for you to keep pouring water over the rocks yourself. You’re left with more freedom to relax and enjoy your time in the sauna. Most sauna humidifiers disperse humidity gently over a 20-30 minute time span. Humidifier Benefits A couple of great benefits of using humidifiers is... 1. They help relieve cold symptoms by increasing moisture in the air. This helps keep your lungs more elastic. 2. Increase protection from infection by keeping the mucus membranes of your throat and nasal passages moist. This allows the cilia (tiny hairs) to work at expelling “stuff” like mold, pet dander and bacteria. "A humidifier can provide relief from the effects of dry winter air and soothe irritated nasal and respiratory passages." - Mayo Clinic Staff A sauna humidifier is also compatible with aromatherapy essential oils.
